Saw an opportunity and ran for Governor of California in 2003. Placed 41st out of 135 candidates. Didn't do as well as 'Ahnold' (1st); actor and mall security guard Gary Coleman (8th); porn star Mary Carey (10th); model Angelyne (29th); or game-show winner and college student Daniel Watts (39th).

Did better than the fancy dressers, though:

Trek Thunder Kelley (totally in blue, head-to-foot - 62nd);
David Sams (Uncle Sam in LA area TV commercials - 64th);
Diane Templin & Dorene Musilli (red-white-blue patriots - 69th & 77th);
Kurt Rightmyer (sumo-wrestler - 81st);
Bob Cullenbine (clown looking for a circus - 96th); or,
Reva Renee Renz (hot, hot, hot barowner in a mini-skirt - 127th);

and better than Kelly Kimball and Scott Mednick ('Bumhunters' and owners of Buttmonkey Beer - 78th & 105th); and much better than accused murderer Scott Davis (120th).

The best part was getting a brief appearance on Jon Stewart's Daily Show (see Crazy-fornia).

I need an entourage next time, though. Maybe the Flying Elvises, or lady mudwrestlers.
